    Re:  End of Service Follow Up Announcement for CA PPM 13.0/13.1 (formerly known as CA Clarity™ PPM)

     

    CA is continually working to improve our software and services to best meet the needs of our customers. This is a follow-up to our notification dated January 15, 2014, regarding End of Service (EOS) for CA Clarity PPM 13.0 and CA Clarity PPM 13.1.

     

    With the recently advertised new features planned for availability in the next CA PPM version, CA has heard from a number of customers that they would prefer to wait to upgrade their older CA PPM instances until the next version is available. CA understands there can be considerable cost and effort associated with planning the upgrade of a mission critical system.

     

    As a gesture of good-faith and business-value partnership, CA is continuing support for CA Clarity PPM 13.0 and CA Clarity PPM 13.1 through May 31, 2015. Support for CA Clarity PPM 13.0/13.1 releases will be discontinued on June 1, 2015, All Platforms, All Languages.

     

    At this time, we encourage you to plan for the migration to CA PPM r14.2. CA PPM r14.2 is targeted to become Generally Available in early 2015.  For additional information on CA PPM, please visit the CA PPM product pages at CA Support Online (https://support.ca.com/).

     

    As CA would like to help make your upgrade to CA PPM as straightforward and successful as possible, we offer the following:

     

    • Documentation to help prepare you for your upgrade to CA PPM can be viewed at CA Support Online (https://support.ca.com/) on the product home page.

    Hi All,

     

    What version of CA Clarity PPM is available for OnDemand customers, is it 14 or 14.1, we are planning to upgrade and would like to know what version we will upgrade to, not sure of the release of 14.2 based on the above message.

     

    Thanks

    Tammi

    On premise it is 14.1 There is no 14 as the new version naming convention was the major version being the year and the minor being a sequential number starting from 1 (as nobody would like to get version XX.0)

    With D2 release that naming convention abandoned if it will be 14.2 and then there is no build in logic.
